Geno,Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

Geno is a warrior from theStar Road and one ofMario's partners inSuper Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars andits remake. He is sent by "a higher authority" to restore peace to Mario's world by inhabiting a wooden doll. During the events ofSuper Mario RPG, he teams up with Mario's team, which consists of Mario,Mallow,Princess Peach, andBowser, and helps them out on their quest to defeatSmithy. In battle, he has high attack, but lower defense. Geno is not his real name, but rather that of the doll whose form he occupies, which he adopts as his real name,♡♪!?, is "hard to pronounce".

Geno was designed by Yuka Miyamoto and Hideo Minaba, with Kazuyuki Kurashima having provided concept work.[1][2] Prior to the release ofSuper Mario RPG,Nintendo Power wrote that Geno was described bySquare as "Pinocchio".[3]

History[edit]

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars[edit]

When theSmithy Gang launch their attack onMario's world,Exor crashes intoBowser's Keep and occupies it. As Exor fell from the sky, he shattered the Star Road, and as a result, sevenStar Pieces are scattered throughout the world, and wishes are unable to be granted. Because of this, Geno is sent to retrieve the Star Pieces and restore the power of wishes to the world.

Some time later,Rose Town is besieged by the Smithy Gang.Bowyer is launching arrows into the town and paralyzing people. Many people in Rose Town fear leaving their homes out of potentially being paralyzed by one of Bowyer's arrows.

During this time of crisis,Mario andMallow arrive in Rose Town. The pair enters the Town Inn, and while inside, Mario sees a young boy namedGaz playing with his dolls ofMario,Peach, andBowser.Gaz's mom asks Mario to play with her son, which he agrees to. Mario pretends to be Bowser, and Gaz pretends to be his favorite of the dolls, Geno. Gaz ends up playing too rough however, and activates Geno's "Super Star Shot". Instead of hitting the Bowser doll, the blast accidentally hits Mario, knocking him out.

That night, a single star being enters the Inn. Seeing the four dolls on the floor, the star decides to inhabit the Geno doll. Now possessing the doll, the star has problems with walking, and slams into the wall before leaving the inn. Later, Geno admits he chose that particular doll because it appeared to be the strongest of the four.

The next morning, Gaz tells his mom that he saw the living Geno walk into theForest Maze. His mom does not believe this, while Mario goes and enters the woods to find the animated doll. Geno enters the forest to challenge Bowyer, and retrieve the Star Piece that Bowyer's minions had found. Mario and Mallow decide to help Geno, and together, the three defeat Bowyer and acquire the Star Piece.

After defeating Bowyer, Geno reveals to the heroes that he is a warrior from Star Road and that he has assumed the form of the Geno doll to fight the Smithy Gang. Additionally, he states that wishes can never come true again until all the Star Pieces are recovered. He also reveals his real name,♡♪!?. However, this is impossible to pronounce, so the star warrior assumes the name of the doll: Geno. After explaining everything, Geno decides to join forces with Mario and Mallow to find the remaining Star Pieces.

Eventually, Mario, Mallow, Geno, Bowser, and Peach collect the remaining Star Pieces and defeatSmithy. With Smithy destroyed, Geno decides to leave the doll's wooden body, returning to the form of a star and bringing the Star Pieces to Star Road. Repairing the celestial road, the power of wishes return to the world. The lifeless Geno doll can be seen sitting behindMario and company onVista Hill while they witness Exor disintegrate.

Geno also has a clone version of himself thatBelome can create during his fight inhis temple atLand's End named "Geno Clone".

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga[edit]

Geno's doll form makes a cameo inMario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. He appears as the mechanical host of theStar 'Stache Smash arcade game inLittle Fungitown, explaining the rules of the minigame. The end credits state that Geno is an intellectual property of Square Enix: "Regardless of the above-mentioned, the copyright of Character "Geno", reserved by SQUARE ENIX CO., LTD." However, he does not return in the remake,Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, where text bubbles replace his role.

Super Smash Bros. series[edit]

Director of theSuper Smash Bros. seriesMasahiro Sakurai has stated that Geno was considered for an appearance inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl, but was not followed up on for unexplained reasons.[4]

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U[edit]

Though not available as a fighter, a costume based on Geno was released as DLC forSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS andSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U. Although the hat can be worn by anyMii Fighters, the costume is exclusive toMii Gunners, with the Geno Beam arm cannon mounted on the right hand. The DLC was released during December 2015, alongside the Chocobo hat,Cloud Strife, and theMidgar stage. This is fitting as the character of Cloud is owned by Square Enix, who also developedSuper Mario RPG, and owns the rights to Geno.

Nintendo also released a QR code for those who wish to have the exact Mii used in the costume's advertising.[5]

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]

Geno appears as aspirit inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate. He is also a selectable icon for use in the online modes. In his spirit battle, he is represented bySheik armed with a Super Scope, and is joined byMario,Peach,Bowser, and a grayKirby, who representsMallow. These five fighters represent the main cast ofSuper Mario RPG. His Mii Gunner costume fromSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS andSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U returns as DLC, and was released in December 2020, alongside a series ofFinal Fantasy-themed costumes, in parallel with Challenger Pack 8 which introducedSephiroth.

Super Mario-kun[edit]

Geno appears in volumes50 and51 of theSuper Mario-kun manga. Geno is actually absent for the majority of the volumes, having been forced byPrincess Peach to switch places with him and leaving him at her castle to take her place in the form of a disguise. It is not until the battle againstSmithy that he shows up again in the story. Geno largely looks like his game counterpart, but his mouth no longer has the puppet design.

Tetris 99[edit]

Tetris 99 featured an event withSuper Mario RPG from November 9th, 11 PM PT to November 13th, 10:59 PM PT to promote the upcoming release ofSuper Mario RPG. The event includes a new theme for the game which changes the music to themes fromSuper Mario RPG. It also features frog coins replacing the normal KO indicator and the tetriminos having stars emblazoned on them. Geno appears alongsideMario,Princess Peach,Bowser, andMallow in the background.

General information[edit]

Physical description[edit]

Two sprites of Geno's star form
Geno's star form.

Geno's real form is that of a star depicted as a small glowing point at the beginning of the game, and as a yellow, more traditionalSuper Mario star surrounded by yellow dots at the end of the game. During the events ofSuper Mario RPG, Geno descends onto the Mushroom Kingdom and takes on the form of a wooden doll owned byGaz.

The doll has a simple unpainted wooden body and wears a blue cape and beanie, with two orange stripes sticking out from under it. It is implied that the doll does not represent a living person in Mario's world like Gaz's other dolls, as other characters do not recognize Geno while in this form. The sprites of the Geno doll when playing with Gaz and the one sitting pose of it seen at the end of the game are proportionally inaccurate to each other. These discrepancies are fixed in the Nintendo Switch remake.

Personality[edit]

Geno acts as a sage-like figure to Mario and his allies. Consequently, Geno offers the heroes advice about matters the others may not understand. For instance, after Mario and his allies liberate Bowser's Keep, Bowser decides to quit the team and return to the castle. However, Geno points out that until Smithy and his factory are destroyed, Bowser's Keep is still at risk. Thus Bowser decides to continue the fight. Geno's personality is strongly based on his confidence and attitude. Geno has more of a defiant, heroic attitude. His eagerness to confront the villain may be due to his status as an authority figure from Star Road. He also tends to show more enthusiasm than any other party member. Although powerful, Geno is quite amiable, quick to make friends with Mario and Mallow. He has a strong sense of duty and responsibility, and his role on Star Road may be analogous to Mario's role in theMushroom Kingdom. He even worries over the "ownership" of his physical form, and promises to return the body to the home from whence it came.

Powers and abilities[edit]

Geno is a very potent offensive character overall, having the highest speed of any party member (30), comparable attack stats to Bowser, and high magic attack stats and potent special moves primarily revolving around single and multiple enemy attacks. His one support move,Geno Boost, bolsters attack (and defense if timed properly) stats even further. When equipped with theFeather orTroopa Medal, Geno is the only character capable of defeating aShy Ranger (provided Mario does not have the Super Suit + Attack Scarf combination). However, hisHP growth begins to stall after level 20 and his special equipment is subpar at best, with his ultimate weapon, theStar Gun, not being as powerful as that of others, such as Mario'sLazy Shell, while his ultimate armor, theStar Cape is the second worst in the game, making him relatively weaker in both attack and defense power later in the game despite his high base stats. Still, Geno Boost andGeno Flash, one of the strongest special moves in the game that strikes all enemies, make Geno useful to have on any team.

Special moves[edit]

  • Geno Beam - Charging up his energy, Geno shoots a deadly energy beam at one enemy. HoldingY Button until three stars appears deals more damage.
  • Geno Boost - Using magic, Geno boosts an ally's attack. After all the arrows disappear, pressingY Button boosts the ally's defense as well.
  • Geno Whirl - Geno throws a disk of light at one enemy. If timed correctly, the attack does 9,999 damage. This does not work for boss characters (except Exor andSpeardovich copies).
  • Geno Blast - Geno summons light energy from the sky, damaging all enemies. HoldingY Button until three stars appears deals more damage.
  • Geno Flash - Geno transforms into a large cannon, then shoots a large ball of energy, damaging all enemies. HoldingY Button until three stars appears deals more damage.

Mario and Mallow have found only one so far. With Geno joining their bold little band, they'll have to find the six lost pieces. For the time being, Mario would be satified[sic] if they could find more recruits as their quest continues.[8]:35
